The Economist is probably the best current events / politics/business/etc. magazine out there, with by far the most impartial and practical bent. Normally it’s $99 or some such a year; newsstand price is 6.99 – so it’s not a cheap magazine. Most subscribers make comments like “hard to finish every week” or “I have a stack of these sitting waiting to read” and so on – it’s a very intelligent, worth-your-time magazine with lots of good content. You also get full access to the online edition with your subscription – as well as podcasts, which are an audio reading front to back of all non-advertising content in the magazine. This is in addition to the print version – very handy in tandem with the iPhone / iPad versions that are now out. In short, a first-rate publication that wants to make it easy to consume their substantial content. I got a flyer today via snail mail, as I do from The Economist occasionally. This one blows the others out of the water, though: $12 for 12 issues – that is 12 weeks – and renewing for $12 every 12 weeks thereafter. This amounts to $1 an issue – or $51 a year, as there are 51 issues a year. This is right around the price point that other deals have mentioned – the cheapest I saw in my search was 49.99, I think. Only this deal comes *directly from The Economist* – no shady intermediary sites involved to muck up the deal! The fine print does say “new subscribers only” but I don’t know how strictly this is enforced – for what it’s worth, I was a PAST subscriber, though my subscription lapsed for probably two years by now. Also says allow 2 weeks for first issue delivery – for a weekly magazine that There’s an online signup directly with The Economist listed: http://www.economist.com/mail/us Enter code UL12 when prompted to get the offer. A popup may appear mentioning 19.95 for 12 issues while you’re on their website – dismiss it, and stick with the main link to $12 for $12 issues. I signed up online and their email confirmation takes awhile – like a couple of hours – but I did get an email confirmation prior to posting this, so the deal is verified good! This is a pretty awesome deal if you’re looking for The Economist, so enjoy!
